Arund 80 examples f failed prducts, business and ideas are shwed in the newly pened museum in Sweden. It is t celebrate mdern histry’s 73 designs—frm Cca-Cla Blak, a cffee-inspired drink, t Bic pens made just fr wmen.
Besides shwing lng-frgtten failure, funder Dr. Samuel West is n a task t help us learn frm ur mistakes. Samuel set up the museum after grwing 74 success stries. He said understanding bad designs culd be mre valuable than making gd designs.
“Mst f all creative prjects fail, and learning is the nly way t turn failure int success.” accrding t the museums website. “I hpe that visitrs take hme tw 75 : that failure is cnnected with success, and that they shuld understand the imprtance f learning frm failure,” said Dr. West.
“The purpse f the museum is t shw that creativity requires failure,” Dr. West said as he intrduced sme f the prducts in a vide. “If yu are afraid f failure, then yu can’t create.” His purpse f starting the museum was t encurage rganizatins t be better at learning frm failure instead f ignring (无视) them and pretend they 76 happened.
Many f the museum’s items were available nline. West believed that prly-designed prducts have little in cmmn with ne anther. One f the items, fr example, is a frzen beef lasagna (意式千层面) made by Clgate(Yes, the cmpany that makes tthpaste). West 77 this as a classical case f “brand extensin failure.”
